TO: Mayor Al Boro and the City Council ofSan Rafa 1
FROM: Chad Lynn, Parking Services Manager
SUBJECT: Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems
Pursuant to section 2.55.190 of the San Rafael Municipal Code, when the City's
purchasing agent determines in writing that the use of competitive sealed bid is not
practical or advantageous to the City, the City Council may authorize the City Manager
to contract for or purchase supplies, materials, equipment or services by use of
competitive negotiation.
The Parking Services Manager, as the designated purchasing agent for the Parking
Access and Revenue Control Systems, has made such a determination and recommends
the use of competitive negotiation pursuant to section 2.55.200 of the San Rafael
Municipal Code to contract for the purchase of Parking Access and Revenue Control
Systems for the following reasons:
Features / Functionality / Price
• Competitive negotiation allows the City the flexibility to choose or
eliminate features and that will serve the City's best interests.
• The City may wish to add/delete functions based on the various vendor
prices and performance.
2. Choice of Operations Platform
Service
Since each manufactures' software is proprietary, the City may exercise
it's own judgment based on simplicity and ability to train employees on
the new system.
The City must develop a long-term service relationship with the vendor
selected for this contract. Competitive negotiation allows the City the
flexibility to choose vendors it feels are better able to service the
equipment in a timely, efficient manner.
